Sinopse

The true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of a Missouri teen and her family’s journey to justice. In the early hours of March 22, 1989, two friends—career criminals with violent felony convictions—drove around the eastern Kansas City area in a stolen car committing a series of crimes. The weather was mild for late March in Kansas City; the sky was clear, and there was the pale remnant of a Full Moon that bore the dubious name of Death Moon, the last full moon of winter. A little before 7 a.m., fifteen-year-old Ann Harrison walked to the end of her driveway on Kansas City’s east side to wait for the bus to take her to Raytown South High School. Ten minutes later, she disappeared but no one saw what happened. As if waiting for her return, her belongings were still stacked carefully by the side of the road.By the Side of the Road is the true crime story of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Ann Harrison and the long journey forced upon her family who had to wait nearly three decades to see her killers brought to final justice.

    Now I’m no longer hiding. From now on, no one speaks for me. 
    I'm going to take you on an emotional journey that will entwine expressive words and my own artistic representation of the meaning behind the written word. I grew tired of not being seen for who I am, now I’m sharing with you my story that starts with heartbreak, then processing this heartbreak, to finding myself in the process and ultimately healing from this experience. You will not just read about my experiences with heartbreak and healing. In this piece I force you to be introspective about the experience, by interrupting the linear story with a poetry and artwork. This book tells a deeply personal story…I felt it had to be in order for me to take my narrative back into my own hands.

    An Amazon Best Non-Fiction Book of 2022'Essential reading' - The Guardian'Sharp and witty with moments of startling candour' - The i'Makes a powerful case' - Rt Hon Lady Hale‘Revealing and beautifully written’ - David Harewood________Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye’s is a journey of exploration – from the outside looking in.In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher – an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts – his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK’s classrooms.Through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him, Boakye reflects on what he has found out about the habits, presumptions, silences and distortions that black students and teachers experience, and which underpin British education.Thought-provoking, witty and completely unafraid, I Heard What You Said is a timely exploration of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.________'Hugely important' - Baroness Lawrence'Deeply compelling, intellectually rigorous and essential' - Nels Abbey'Personal and political, profound and playful' - Darren Chetty'Written with passion, fury, knowledge and, in spite of the painful subject, wit' - Patrice Lawrence

    Born in Sligo into a family of travelling entertainers, Sandy Kelly has become one of the top musical performers in Ireland.
    
    Sandy was co-opted into the family variety show from an early age. As a teenager she sang on the social club circuit in the UK, playing an ever more prominent role. When she returned to Ireland, she developed initially as a pop performer before following her instincts and concentrating on a music career.
    
    Her landmark 1989 recording of the Patsy Cline hit 'Crazy' led her to perform on stages all over the world, including the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and the lead role in Patsy – The Musical in London's West End.
    
    But the music industry can be a tough place. Sandy has dealt with prejudice and financial pressures. Alongside the glamour of show business, she has experienced the heartaches of divorce, family illness and death, and faced the challenges of raising a daughter with special needs.
    
    Sandy has stood strong at the heart of Ireland's music scene for over four decades. Here, for the first time, she recounts the highs – and lows – of a lifetime in music, in her own words.

    Burke Masters had the perfect game plan for his life: he was going to become a Major League Baseball player. As a star infielder for Mississippi State with a game-winning grand slam to help his team reach the College World Series, he was well on his way to the career of his dreams. But little did he know that his life-changing call would not be from a recruiter to join the Major Leagues—it would be from God to become a priest.   In this page-turning memoir, Fr. Burke takes readers on an intimate personal journey—from his childhood outside of Chicago, to his success in baseball, to his conversion to Catholicism, and finally, to his acceptance of his vocation. Amid severe doubt and personal loss, he learned to embrace his fundamental identity—not as an athlete, but as a beloved son of God and a spiritual father to God’s people. Fr. Burke’s story is a powerful reminder that God’s plan for us is so much greater than our own; that it fulfills our dreams in ways greater than we could have imagined; and that if we only have the courage to say yes, every moment is an opportunity for a grand slam for God.

    Mary Ann O’Brien, Founder and CEO of award-winning marketing firm OBI, and the brains behind the revolutionary O’Brien Voice of Customer (O.VoC) survey, has been called “The Mother of Modern Marketing.” Now she’s sharing her unique, highly-successful approach to helping clients attract and retain customers in Ask and Deliver: Discover the Heart of Your Business by Listening to the Voice of Your Customers. In the book, O’Brien demonstrates how directly asking the people who buy from you what they want from your business, listening to what they say, and then designing your customer experience accordingly has the power to transform your brand and spark exponential growth. 
    The book follows the evolution of both OBI and the O.VoC through several iterations, beginning when O’Brien first developed the survey for Gateway Computers, in hopes of pinpointing where the once-beloved company had gone wrong with its customers. O’Brien quickly learned that the insights gleaned from the survey data—customer data—were like gold, providing a roadmap to bring Gateway back from the brink by putting the customer at the center of everything they did. It explains how O’Brien refined and added to the survey as she worked with clients across different sectors, growing her business while helping them achieve their dreams. And finally, it explores what happened when O’Brien subjected her own company to her methodology, and the unexpected changes that followed. It’s a fascinating education in a new and exciting marketing methodology, as well as an exploration of how one woman guided her business through the Great Recession and the Covid crisis in order to change the way marketing is done.
